In 2025, we invite fans of digital radio communications to take part in the game «Bukvitsa» in the period from 00:00 UTC on Saturday, May 24 to 23:59 UTC on Sunday, May 25. During this time, each participant can play the «Bukvitsa» several times. The results of those participants who have completed the entire game at least once are counted. The table will always display only your best of the game results. The goal of the game is to collect all the letters in alphabetical order in the shortest time. The last letter of the suffix of the correspondent's call sign is taken into account. These letters can only be collected in alphabetical order sequentially from A to Z. If you play the second and subsequent times during the competition and see that it is not possible to improve the previous result, then with the "RESET" button you will have the opportunity to stop the game and start it again. The winner will receive a prize with the participant's call sign and the club's logo. The second prize of the same kind will be drawn in a lottery between the participants with a result of less than 3 hours. and also all players will receive certificates on the RDRC awards website.
You can work on the air on any bands and only those types of modulation that are presented in the programs JTDX, WSJT-X, MSHV, i.e. in FT8, FT4, JT9, JT65, T10, etc. To start playing, you need to go to the rating page awards.rdrclub.ru/littera in the START THE GAME form, specify your call sign and use the START button to go to the individual statistics page or on the page http://awards.rdrclub.ru/littera/YOUR_CALL/ specify your call sign instead of YOUR_CALL - only from this moment it is considered that you have started the game. If this is not done, then even working and sending data to our server for the «Bukvitsa», you do not participate in the online game itself.
The start of the game is the time of recording the letter "A", the end is the time of recording the letter "Z". The rules of the game imply working on the air "on search", and not on CQ. Transitions across ranges are not limited. In fractional call signs, for example RK3DSW/p, SV8/HB9FIH, only the last letter is counted. And a callsign with a digit at the end, for example RK3DZF/6, will not be accepted for offset.
Programs: any software, but NECESSARILY the LATEST VERSIONS, supporting data transmission data transmission over UDP protocol and is configured to send QSO data to our server.. Currently, we recommend using JTDX with a version not lower than 2.2.158, WSJT-X and MSHV only the latest versions. In the program settings, you need to register the server IP 213.129.114.147 port 52001, and you should use only one of the protocol UDP. Please note: the UDP protocol does not guarantee 100% delivery of QSO data, and if you wrote down the desired letter, but it did not appear in the tracking, try to send (re-write to the LOG) this is a QSO once again.
